Pantheon Pranayama FG Gong Custom Longboard Complete

Pantheon Pranayama FG Gong Custom Longboard Complete

The latest Pantheon Pranayama is reworked for longevity, flex and reliability. The board now has a 6-ply Canadian maple core, encasing either side in triaxial fiberglass.

The Gong Pranayama is an experiment from Pantheon to see what matters most to the customers. This is the first Pranayama where they get rid of the bottom veneer. This might make it a bit less of a city commuter deck for some of you, as you could be reluctant to drop it off curbs, because there is a chance to scrape the fiberglass then.

On a standard Pranayama construction, Pantheon puts a veneer sheet on the bottom to act as a sort of sacrificial layer, improving longevity. But if you’re just skating in parks and on paths, and you’re not exceptionally heavy, it’s highly unlikely that skaters will be scraping up the bottom of their boards a lot. So…this is a test. If you guys want it, here’s a limited run. Grab one.

This does make the deck lighter. Not a ton, but by a little bit, as it gets rid of a layer of veneer and reduces a little bit of epoxy required for the layup. Flex will be very minimally changed.

Setup Advice

The Pranayama is truly optimized on Paris 149mm trucks and your choice of any color and durometer (softness) of either the 85mm Seismic Speed Vents OR the 85mm Orangatang Caguama wheels. Paris are notoriously high TKP trucks, so if you want a lower setup, you can try a classic Independent 149mm as well, but really, we love the turn on Paris so much that if wanted it to be lower, we would just pick a slightly smaller wheels like the Orangatang 80mm Kegel or the new 80.5mm Seismic Alpha, or put a little drop through riser on the board. We do feel, though, that most will appreciate the stock height and feel of the suggested setups. It is unlikely that it can get any better, but we will pay attention to reviews and our own experiences and modify this section if necessary.
